Sam Wood from Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, "East L.A. meets Rodeo Drive on "Lifted by Love", with a bassline appropriated from War's "Low Rider"."[4] Renée Christ from Spin described the song as "part disco, part Chicago covering Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" (in style at least), where the dreamy chord progressions showcase lang's golden pipes beyond Peter Cetera's wildest imaginings."[5]
